Lindsey Vonn and Serena Williams have been two of the top female sports figures of the century. However, besides being legends in their respective sports, they are also best buddies. Therefore, when a reporter asked Lindsey about Serena’s interview controversy in 2019, the skier, without any hesitation, sided with her friend.

Like Serena Williams, skiing legend Lindsey Vonn has been a dominant figure in the world of sports. Perhaps that is the reason they are such good friends. While Lindsey has been the face of skiing for over a decade, Serena’s contribution to tennis is unparalleled. So the quote, “birds of the same feather, flock together,” fits the two of them aptly.

Lindsey further added, “I think she is bada**, and she can probably say whatever she wants.”
